Ash and Birch industrial estateOccupancy rates at one of Swindon's principle employment locations are at their highest for several years, following a flurry of activity.

Acting on behalf of Petchey Holdings, property consultants Alder King and Loveday have concluded four transactions at the group’s Ash and Birch Industrial Estate – part of Kembrey Park.

The lettings to two new and two existing occupiers leave just four units of immediately available space, the lowest level on the 42 unit 160,000 sq ft estate for several years.

New occupiers include Golf Tech Ltd, trading as Powertee, which has taken the 7,076 sq ft Unit 11 Birch, and NewJax Drainage & Property Maintenance which has agreed terms on the 1,150 sq ft Unit 11 Ash.

Golf Tech and NewJax are relocating from South Marston and Cheney Manor Industrial Estates respectively to facilitate continued expansion.
